Stephen Gately, 1976 -2009
Now Playing: Boyzone - Words
Stephen Gately, Boyzone member, died this month. He was only the second celeb I ever had a crush on - the first was David Duchovny - and hearing of his death makes me feel old in ways a simple birthday could never do.
Rest in Peace, Stephen. I still have my Boyzone tapes, and your autograph, and that embarrassingly large poster tucked away somewhere and when my (imaginary, hypothetical) girls go through their boyband phase, I'll think of you and know how to deal. My teen self sends all her love.
